'Close canon law books and open doors of love' - A very moving piece. (Main Forum)

The ones who have experienced separation, divorce and/or annulment are those to whom Christ said "Come to Me all you who labour and are burdened and I will give you rest".

He did not say "But you have to jump through the hoops of the man-made Church laws first."

Whatever laws men have made, they can unmake, even so=-called infallible ones.

God calls everyone to the Eucharist. He does not set aside sinners because Eucharist is the great healer. Fr Ron Rolheiser's reflection today talks about whether confession is necessary before Eucharist, and why Eucharist should be sought, regardless of state of "holiness" as defined by others.
